First-Class Lawyer

Gu Yan?

Before the screen was turned on, Yan Suizhi subconsciously thought it was another message from Gu Yan.As a result, I opened it and found that it was not.

The sender's name jumped up and down, showing: Miss Fitz.

Yan Suizhi froze for a moment, then laughed.I don't know if it's because of the preconceived guess before, or because of Miss Fitz's twittering personality that always pokes at everything.

Miss Fitz

- It's past 8 o'clock, today's work log has been forgotten by you again, Mr. Ruan Ye?

Miss Fitz

-But I still want to tell you some good news. Just now I received a call from senior affairs officer Adams. He secretly told me that 10 minutes ago, your teacher Gu Yan had completed the review. After a letter, it shouldn't be a problem.

10 minutes ago?Yan Suizhi glanced at the time silently, and vaguely remembered that 11 o'clock at Hongshi Xingshuangye was actually close to the early morning of the normal time, and after so many hours, it should be dawn.

Generally speaking, there are three steps for a first-level lawyer to go through after submitting an application. The first step is an initial review ranging from 3 to 5 days. In this step, most applicants will be screened out. Small law firms basically all The army was wiped out, and the big law firm submitted several applications, but there was basically only one seedling left.So after this step is over, only the best of them will remain, less than 5%.According to past experience, this is the preliminary list.

This list will be publicized for 45 days, which is the second step of the process.During the publicity period, if no one raises any objection, then the people on the list will enter the final step of the process - the final vote.

Those who participated in the voting were the gang of bigwigs on the wall of the First-Class Lawyer Medal.If Yan Suizhi hadn't "dead", he would also be one of the big bosses with voting rights.

If two-thirds of the votes are cast, it is considered passed.

If the voters are a relatively gentle, friendly and talkative group, and do not want to offend their peers, two-thirds is actually an easy standard to meet.However, unfortunately, the members of this group have their own personalities, and none of them are the kind of "if you vote for it, I agree with it" kind of good old man.

So in the final voting step, a group of people will still be screened out each time, but this number is within an acceptable range.

What Gu Yan experienced now was the first step.Under normal circumstances, if you can get a clear message, it means that it has stabilized and the result will not change.That is to say, although the list has not been made public yet, one can already congratulate Gu Yan for successfully entering the second step.

Miss Fitz:

-Your teacher is one step closer to the first-class lawyer medal. Are you excited?Are you excited?

Yan Suizhi curled up the corners of his mouth, and replied:

- jumped up for joy.

Miss Fitz:

-………………

Miss Fitz:

-Don't think that because I can't see you, I don't know that you are talking nonsense.You have roots growing on the soles of your feet. I suspect you used to walk when you were in middle school.

Yan Suizhi:

- I didn't have high jump in middle school gym class.

Miss Fitz's focus is misplaced by success:

- no high jumpWhat's there?

Yan Suizhi:

-Equestrian swimming, rock climbing, choose one of the three, I don't remember much.

Miss Fitz:

-? ? ? ? ? ? ?

It was more than 20 years ago in middle school. Professor Yanda didn’t have a deep impression of such trivial matters. He only remembered that the original course was ridiculed as “horse racing up the mountain and down to the sea level”, and then he chose the one that could sit.

Discussing such old things with people is a waste of time, Yan Suizhi is not very interested.What's more, the topic was originally about Gu Yan, so it went too far away.

He brought the topic back again and replied:

-Anyway, I'm happy.

Of course, he didn't understand the excitement that Fitz mentioned, after all, he already had a piece of the so-called "Glittering First Class Lawyer Medal".But the joy was real, and the student he once admired so much was getting better, and he was certainly happy.

Maybe a little more than the usual pleasure.

Miss Fitz sent a small picture of a bunch of fried fireworks, very lively and very happy.However, in order to be less eccentric, she added another sentence:

-Mr. Hal may be frustrated, the Hobbs review is still going on, but the results are clearly...

Generally speaking, if a law firm reports more than one applicant, then for the sake of fairness, each applicant will have an independent senior affairs officer in charge.Adams is the one in charge of Gu Yan, and Hal is the one in charge of Hobbs.

According to past experience, a law firm will only have one seedling left in the end. Now that Gu Yan has made it known that Gu Yan is on the list, it is foreseeable that Hobbs will lose the election.

Yan Suizhi walked towards the gate of Zhigeng Welfare Hospital, while deliberating a less partial reply.

He stood by the inquiry machine on the first floor of the hospital for a while, trying to enter the surname "Chen" in it, and the list that came out was hopelessly long.

Yan Suizhi clicked his tongue lightly, and the little girl at the service desk next to him asked with insight, "Sir, do you need to see someone?"

"Yes."

"Is it because the name is not very accurate, so it is difficult to check?" The little girl is very understanding, "It's okay, such things are very common, you don't need to feel embarrassed. Do you have a photo? Or any other information? I can help you check."

"Thank you." Yan Suizhi thought for a while, and called up a photo of Chen Zhang in the case file, "A friend of mine asked me to visit his family—"

"Ah..." The little girl had a complicated expression on her face, and before he finished speaking, she responded, "I know him."

"What a coincidence."

"I know who you are going to visit." The little girl said, "But this one is special, it is guarded by the police, and you need to submit your ID card."

When she said that, Yan Suizhi immediately understood.

In Chen Zhang's small building just now, he was still a little puzzled why Chen Zhang's family members were not mentioned in the case documents. If one really wanted to check the information of the Welfare Hospital in detail, it would not be difficult to find out.

It now appears that the police have actually found out.It's just that the family members here have nothing to do with the Yaba Island case, so on the one hand, in order to protect these people from being implicated, such as not being angered by the Manson family, not being disturbed by some media who want to know each other, etc... No Put these in the materials that need to be released in the case.But on the other hand, for further monitoring, some people were sent to guard here.

Yan Suizhi followed the normal procedures, so of course he didn't mind.He verified his identity at the service desk, and the little girl said in surprise, "It's actually a defense lawyer..."

"Intern." Yan Suizhi didn't forget to refine the character design, and asked the little girl with a smile, "Just now, from your expression, it seems that you don't like this Mr. Chen Zhang very much. Why?"

If it was a stranger who didn't know him at all, even if he heard that someone was involved in a certain case, he wouldn't have this expression.The little girl's behavior just now was more like she knew something about Chen Zhang.

"Uh... It's not that I don't like it..." The little girl explained a little awkwardly, but soon relaxed in Yan Suizhi's gentle smile, thought for a while and said: "This Mr. Chen's grandfather, parents There is also an older sister with us. My grandfather, father, and older sister all have the same genetic disease, and they are all paralyzed now. My mother does not have that genetic disease, but because of impatience and hard work, her heart and lung function is very poor. For many years. Mr. Chen Zhang is actually quite pitiful, but..."

"But what?"

"At first he insisted on visiting them once a week, so we all had a little impression of him. But then he came very rarely, and each time he only stayed for a short time before leaving in a hurry. He has never been here once, and it can be seen that he is not very happy to see those family members. Maybe it has been a burden for a long time, and it is too tiring for him, just like..." The little girl hesitated, but still gritted her teeth and said seriously. Words, "like a burden."

I can't shake them off, and I can't let them go, so on the one hand, I'm trying to support them, but on the other hand, I don't want to see them...

"I understand what you mean." Yan Suizhi was silent for a moment thoughtfully, then raised his eyes and smiled at the little girl, and said, "Then I'll go to the ward first, thank you."

The little girl quickly waved her hand, "You're welcome, it should be."

After leaving the service desk, Yan Suizhi was not in a hurry to find the ward number provided by the little girl, but walked around the shop downstairs in the inpatient department, and bought one without any other functions, only the most basic functions voice recorder.

In the corridor outside the ward, there were indeed a few people in plain clothes wearing hats, or sitting on benches pretending to be waiting for someone.

But when Yan Suizhi walked towards the door of the ward, they all looked at him in unison.

Yan Sui knew who they were at a glance, and shook his ID card at them.

Those people nodded, indicating that Yan Suizhi can go in, but don't close the door of the ward.Yan Suizhi spread his palms to them again, and explained briefly: "Recording pen, the oldest kind."

Several people smiled, and raised their chins towards his room door, "It can be used, go."

To be honest, the process of meeting Chen Zhang's family was not pleasant.

Chen Zhang's mother cried a lot. She had a thin tube inserted into her nose to help her breathe. Several times, Yan Suizhi was afraid that the thin tube would fall off with her movements, but she didn't care at all.He just kept crying and crying, saying that he hadn't seen Chen Zhang for a long time, that he had suffered so much that he didn't even have time to catch his breath for so many years.

Startled by her crying, the nurse hurried over to check her physical indicators, as if she was very worried that she would cry into the emergency room.

On the way, the nurse whispered to Yan Suizhi, "The old lady sneaked away several times, saying that she wanted to earn some money to relieve her son's burden. Twice, she almost couldn't find her. It was the girl from the service desk downstairs." I saw her huddled in a corner near the port, setting up a small stall with a group of people, and then I found her again, and a small positioning chip was added to the measuring device on the wrist."

When Yan Suizhi heard the word old lady, he was inexplicably sensitive.His eyes fell on Chen Zhang's mother. Chen Zhang is over 50 years old, and his mother is less than 100 years old at most. In this world where life expectancy is generally 200 years old, life is only halfway through. According to the aging speed of modern people , even at the tail end of its prime.But she was obviously old, the drooping skin and the deep tear grooves under her eyes not only looked old, but also extremely haggard.

Not only her, but everyone in this room, Chen Zhang's grandfather, father and his sister, all looked much older than normal.

His grandfather was nestled on the innermost bed, his body was shrinking in the aging stage, he looked thin and small, and his mind was a little unclear.He heard them chanting Chen Zhang's nickname, and after a long time he slowly raised his head, wiped his eyes and said, "Wen, he doesn't want us?"

He spoke every sentence very slowly and with great effort, and he had to rest for a while after speaking.

"No more?"

"I don't seem to remember what he looks like..."

Chen Zhang's elder sister didn't speak all the time, but at this moment she whispered, "Don't want it, don't want it, and be less bitter."

The little nurse turned her head and quickly wiped her eyes, and said to Yan Suizhi with a red nose, "Sorry, I'll go out first, and if you have any problems, you must ring the bell to call me."

Yan Suizhi is seldom afraid of anything, and the only thing he can't handle is this kind of scene.

It's not that he will be at a loss here, on the contrary, he quickly comforted these sobbing and crying people as Chen Zhang's friend, maybe because he looks gentle and trustworthy, they take all the nonsense they say , I was taken aback for a while when I heard it at the end, and I just forgot to cry.

The little nurse who slipped out to wash her face had the courage to come back.

Before leaving, Chen Zhang's father suddenly asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there anything wrong with him?"

Yan Suizhi smiled, "No, I went to see him this morning, but he really couldn't get away."

"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Zhang's father repeated, "Tell him it's okay, don't worry about it, we are fine."

When I came out of the Welfare Hospital, the visiting hours of the inpatient department were over. The seasons in the first district were different from those in the third district. It's a little cold, even if you feel sleepy, you will wake up.

The corridors on several floors were quiet and deserted, Yan Suizhi had already put away his smile, and the moonlight reflected on his slightly drooping eyelashes, making his expression very pale.He walked for a while, and suddenly looked at the smartphone as if he remembered something. Sure enough, there was a missed call on it, which was still from Fitz.

Before, the ward was full of crying and chaos, but he didn't realize that there was a communication request at all.

He glanced at Decama's time and called her back.

"Hello?" Fitz answered quickly.

"Sorry, something happened just now." Yan Suizhi said.

"Oh, it's okay!" Fitz said, and asked suddenly, as if aware of something, "What's wrong with you? It sounds like... Something's wrong?"

Yan Suizhi's gaze outside the window didn't change, but he smiled a little: "What's wrong? Maybe it's a little sleepy. What happened before?"

As soon as Fitz was reminded by him, he immediately shouted: "Oh yes! Did you know! Just now the list of the first step of the review was announced, and guess what! Your Teacher Gu and Hobbs are both on the list !"

Yan Sui was taken aback: "Are you sure they are all there? Isn't it the same name?"

"No, it's Gu Yan and Hobbs." Fitz said, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Both of them are on the list, which means that both of them are likely to become first-class lawyers?impossible.The old rules are absolutely impossible to change, and there must be only one person who can eventually become a first-class lawyer, either Gu Yan or Hobbs.It is very rare for both of them to pass the first round, and it is difficult to see once in more than ten years.This shows that in this round of review, it is very difficult for the committee to make a choice, and in desperation, it decided to postpone the decision until the announcement period or the voting period.

This is not a good thing for Gu Yan.

Yan Suizhi thought for a while, and replied to Fitz: "It depends on whether you are partial or not."

He paused, and then said, "Anyway, I'm biased."

Most people always have to say something on the spot, and it's a bit rare for him to be so calm. Fitz was stunned for a moment, and then laughed hahahaha for a long time, "Okay, I suddenly feel in a good mood when you say that, which means that I Very eccentric!"

"Gu Yan——" Yan Sui subconsciously finished speaking, and added two words abruptly, "The lawyers have returned to Decama?"

"I was told earlier that he has already entered the port. But it seems that Gu Yan is going on a business trip? I don't know him, anyway, these barristers are used to flying all day long." Fitz said.

……

The next day, there was a temporary situation at the detention center, and we negotiated with Yan Suizhi to change the meeting time.

It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that he sat in the meeting room again. Before entering the meeting room, he suddenly received a new message from Gu Yan.

This peppermint essence, which disappeared for a day and a night, came up and asked a question without beginning or end:

-where?

Yan Suizhi was urged by the guard's gaze, and didn't say much, and replied concisely:

- Detention house.

After speaking, he took off the smart phone and put it in a transparent bag.

When the guard took the bag, he glanced at his hand again, "Is there any other communication tool? What is that?"

Yan Suizhi spread his hands.

The guard nodded and let him into the meeting room.

In less than 2 minutes, Chen Zhang was brought by the tiger-faced guard yesterday. The moment they saw Yan Suizhi, both of them showed a kind of insensitive but also slightly sad expression, which shows that they were both seriously injured the day before.

When Chen Zhang sat down at the table, he reached out and pressed his waist again.Then straight to the point, he threw a sentence to Yan Suizhi: "I still stick to yesterday's attitude."

Don't say it.

Yan Suizhi was not in a hurry, and just asked a little funny: "Then you can completely refuse to come to the interview room, just like what you did at the beginning yesterday."

Chen Zhang pursed his lips and did not answer.

He was actually afraid of the intern. He was afraid that after he refused to meet, the intern would do something to defraud him just like yesterday.Once cheated, his emotions will be followed by excitement. The feeling of uneasiness is not good, and he doesn't want to be fooled again.So I just came here and sat face to face like this, but I felt a little more confident.

Because as long as he doesn't speak, the initiative is still with him.

"Here you are, the meeting time is one hour as usual." The guard snorted as if he had a toothache, turned around and left.

The door slammed shut, and the meeting room began to fall into the suffocating atmosphere of yesterday again.

Chen Zhang suffocated unilaterally.

Yan Suizhi was not in a hurry at all, what he left yesterday before leaving, today he will do what he said.He really didn't do anything and was not in a hurry, he just drank the clear water in the glass and looked at Chen Zhang calmly.

"..."

After 10 minutes passed, Chen Zhang began to move the stool.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Zhang began to scratch his head.

Ten minutes later, Chen Zhang couldn't bear it anymore.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, Yan Suizhi suddenly stretched out his index finger to his lips, signaling him not to speak, to be quiet.

"..."

Chen Zhang is going crazy.

Just as he was staring at Yan Suizhi with a broken face, Yan Suizhi glanced at the time on the wall casually, then took out something and put it in the middle of the table, "You don't need to talk, I don't plan to Ask some questions. There are 25 minutes left, and I will play a recording for you."

The thing on the table was the recording pen he bought and brought into the ward yesterday. He recorded part of it, not too long or too short, exactly 25 minutes.The meeting room cannot bring any communication tools, so he picked such an old-fashioned thing.

Fortunately, although it is old-fashioned, the sound quality is good, and the content released is as clear as it is ringing in the ear.

"I haven't seen him for a long time. Is he suffering?"

The moment the woman's old voice sounded, Chen Zhang felt as if the body button had been pressed, his eyes widened, his body stiffened, and he remained motionless...

Outside the detention center, two figures were sitting on the open-air coffee seat across the street. Here, you can clearly see the gate of the detention center, and you can sit and drink a cup of coffee. The viewing angle is very good, suitable for waiting and marking people.

Hersey looked at Ben Qi who was fiddling with a professional lens, and couldn't help but said, "This is not very good, teacher."

Ben Qi was shaken by his sudden utterance, and almost fell off the camera, "Hey, my one-hundred-thousand-dollar baby, don't speak so suddenly! What are you doing?"

"Following that intern." Hussey muttered, "What are you doing staring at him..."

"Of course it's to dig some news!" Ben Qi squinted one eye, half of his face was pressed against the dynamic camera, with a shrewd and savage expression, "Don't look at me as an intern, he can do a lot of articles. How can he give the parties In defending, did you lose or win in the end? Did you have an improper deal with the Manson family if you lost? Did you have close contacts with the judge if you won? Or there are other twists and turns, this The people involved in the case are not simple, and you can write about it from any angle. Can you speak from the pictures?"

Hersey whispered: "I don't think this is very good. You have been with him for a whole day, and you even had a long fight opposite his hotel—"

"You think this is not good, and that is not good." Ben Qi interrupted him angrily, "Are you a teacher or am I a teacher? Will I harm you? You come to work to earn money, so survive first, okay?" Young man? Besides—”

He adjusted the camera, found an angle, licked his lips and said, "I haven't let out my breath yet. If you choke to death, will you collect the body? Why don't you have some fun for that little intern? Feeling uncomfortable."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that someone patted his shoulder twice.

His first reaction was, who is that polite.

When he was stunned for a moment and turned his head away, he saw a tall and handsome man looking down at him. This man seemed to have just come from another place, and he was wearing a gray coat that was obviously out of season here. The shirt still looked as if it had just been ironed.

Bunch: "Who are you???"

The other party lowered his eyelids, took his camera with indifference, and then looked down at him, with a calm but panicked tone: "If I'm not mistaken, the person you are following happens to be me intern. I don't mind wasting time listening to you explain how you're going to grind him?"

Ben Qi: "…………………"
